By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@ denpubs.com MOUNT HOLLY Ñ On April 12, 2012, at approximately 2 p.m., state police responded to 206 Fenn Rd in Mount Holly for a reported burglary. State police conducted an investigation where it was discovered a door was forced open. Entry was made into the residence where two Specialized racing bicycles, valued at $7,600, were stolen along with ski equipment. Later that month one of the bicycles was located online for sale.

State Police subsequently recovered the bicycle and discovered that it was originally sold to Pete and AnnÕ s Trading Post in Weathersfield. State Police then recovered the second stolen bicycle at Pete and AnnÕ s Trading Post. Further investigation revealed that Justin Clouart, 24, of Ludlow, was in possession of the stolen bicycles at the approximate time the burglary occurred and sold them along with ski equipment to Pete and AnnÕ s Trading Post. Attempts to locate Clouart were unsuccessful until July 26, 2013.

Shelburne library welcomes new director

By Gail Callahan

newmarketpress@denpubs.com SHELBURNE — Lara Keenan spent her first day as director of the Pierson Library in Shelburne climbing up and down stairs to the Youth section, wandering around the stacks and checking the circulation desk.

An Essex resident, Keenan, 37, earns $49,000 a year on the job and is excited about the position, which started last week. Her career is steeped in books and education and the position allows her to serve patrons who embrace this suburban library. Ò My career has always been in books,Ó said Keenan, only hours after she started the position. “My first job involved working in a bookstore. I also worked as a high school English teacher, and I want to connect the people with the resources here.”

Prior to joining the Pierson Library, Keenan served as Assistant Librarian at the Essex Free Library. Her other credentials include a stint as a librarian and events coordinator at VSAC and also works with the Essex Community Players; lead foley (sound

Tucked into ShelburneÕ s Town Center, the library has 4,000 active patrons along with people who utilize the site via the Home Card System. That program allows most Chittenden County residents to borrow materials from other local libraries at no cost.

The only organization to opt out of that is the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington.

Right now, Keenan is concentrating on speaking with as many people who visit the library, while getting to know her five-member staff and the 25 volunteers who drive the Pierson.

“I’’m impressed with the connections in the community,” she said. “It’s so impressive with the number of opportunities in town. I really want to connect with people and meet the needs of the community.Ó Keenan described her first day on the job as acting like a sponge.

After a period of meeting staff and patrons, Keenan crossed the driveway to meet other employees in ShelburneÕ s Town Center. With the explosion of social media and technology, Keenan recognizes libraries can play unique roles in their towns. Gone are the days when patrons solely borrow books. Now, the latest DVDs, books on tape, magazines and tomes are common materials requested from research desks. It’s that service and connection with people that Keenan feels forms the heart and soul of her efforts.

Opinion From the Editor

Coincidence, miracles and the law of large numbers

I

recently purchased a low-price used book on Amazon.com and it arrived at the house by mail. The book cost a mere 50 cents, plus shipping, because it was a discarded, slightly soiled library book. I hadn’t bothered to examine the tiny library name that was stamped on the inside cover. I just jumped right in and started reading the book.

Later, I grabbed a bookmark from a stack of bookmarks I have, a collection from various bookstores and libraries I have visited.

The bookmark I had picked at random from the stack came from the Lee County Library in Cape Coral, Florida, which I had visited while on vacation there two years ago.

After I finished the first chapter, I stuck this randomly selected bookmark in place and then casually looked at where the used book originally came from. Well, much to my surprise, the inside book cover bore an official little stamp with a Magic Marker line of ink running across it: Ò Lee County Library, Cape Coral, Fla.Ó and the word Ò withdrawnÓ .

Was this a wild coincidence or something else?

Some call coincidences in life Ò little miracles”. It’s not much like walking on water, or healing the sick, but many people think thereÕ s a divine hand behind such extraordinary occurrences in our lives which we are not meant to explain.

My recent bookmark incident made me recall one of the major, stand-out coincidences in my life.

When I was living in Tempe, Ariz., during the early 1980s, I was invited to attend a presentation at a Phoenix hotel about the personal use of biofeedbackÑ that is, employing a small, electronic alpha-wave device to help a person relax or induce a positive state of mind.

Putting the validity of biofeedback aside, the speaker talked about how, by using his little $99 alpha box with headphones, it would help most everyone to get to sleep, even to support a meditation practice.

A short demonstration of the device followed, and although it was intriguing, I just couldnÕ t justify $99 for such a luxury item.

But the sales presentation called to mind Dave Worth, a college friend, who had used a similar alpha-wave box in our campus dormitory in 1972. He had used the device successfully to help relax before exams. I had lost touch with Dave when he moved to the West Coast to accept a job in the emerging home-computer industry.

I hadn’t thought of Dave, really, until the ho-

tel sales pitch in Phoenix.

Flash forward just a few days to the annual downtown festival in Tempe.

Walking the sidewalk, I sampled Mexican and cowboy food, browsed various displays of pottery and colorful Southwestern art, and looked at Indian blankets and ponchos from Sonora. But then, I glimpsed a very familiar face in the sidewalk crowdÑ it was none other than Dave Worth.

We made eye contact, approached each other, and immediately reconnected by slapping each other on our backs.

Dave said he was visiting the Phoenix area on a business trip; he was working for a computer software company. We caught up on the years since our first- and second-year college days in BostonÑ we had both, later, transferred to different colleges to finish our undergraduate studies.

I told Dave about the biofeedback-box sales presentation I had witnessed and then talked a blue streak about the very mysterious coincidence of thinking of him and then having just run into him with no prior contact in eight years.

“It’s creepy,” I think I said. He laughed and agreed but said something about Ò the mystery of synchronicity.” I should mention that after that chance meeting in downtown Tempe, I never saw Dave Worth again.

Synchronicity, as it was defined by psychologist Carl Jung, is when two or more events are related in some deep, meaningful way. The idea of synchronicity is subjective, so thereÕ s no real scientific test to either prove or disprove it.

However, I have since learned that a few physicists have been looking into the idea as applied to the quantum foam, a transient, and root beerlike foamy construct which appears to make up the super small, sub-basement of our universe.

A quick look into the science of coincidence and miracles reveals that mathematics can explain these phenomena; so, if science is to be believed, thereÕ s nothing spooky or supernatural involved. Ò Correlation is not causation,Ó mathematicians studying chance are heard to say about all this. Thus, coincidence is simply the result of chance.

ThereÕ s also LittlewoodÕ s Law which focuses more on the science behind miracles in our lives. This law explains such occurrences with a complex mathematics of chance.

Guest Viewpoint

10 things you can do to make Rutland a better place I

recently had the pleasure to be the guest speaker at the inaugural meeting of the Rutland Young Professionals, a new group created by people interested in mixing, networking and the greater Rutland community and I left inspired by the energy and optimism in the more than 60 people who attended.

My talk focused in part on the work Green Mountain Power is doing in Rutland, including the Solar Capital initiative, Energy Innovation Center, and socio-economic development in support of the city’s VISION Campaign.

I also focused on what these forward-thinking Rutland-area people can do to contribute to RutlandÕ s ongoing rebirth, which I grow more confident in every day. A synopsis of my comments follows, including 10 things they, or any local resident, can do to make Rutland a better place.

1.As a community, let’s stop bad-mouthing Rutland. If you care about the community, highlight its strengths Ð great schools, outdoor recreation, local history, vibrant downtown, local music, arts, good local colleges. When you hear unfounded negativity, challenge it.

2. Become a mentor. With as little as an hour a week, you can

have a huge impact on a childÕ s life. At least three local organizations have mentoring programs than can have enormous benefits for mentors and mentees alike, including the Mentor Connector, Everybody Wins and the Rutland Boys and Girls Club.

3. Patronize local newspapers. Criticizing local newspapers seems like a sport to some, and thatÕ s true in communities across the country. But we have a variety of locally owned papers here with different points of view; when a community loses its local papers, it loses enormous tools for communication, commerce, and community building. All of our local newspapers are vital to this community.

4. Help change the environment. Plant a garden, clean up your street or yard, or pick up one piece of litter every day. It’s proven that if you change an environment, you can change behaviors in that environment.

5. Shop downtown. If you can buy it in Rutland or Vermont, forgo the Internet. Shop at the Farmer’s Market or a local farm stand, and eat at local restaurants.

6. Support GMP’s Solar Capital effort. It’s helping turn around downtown, inspiring investment in Rutland, and itÕ s already

helping boost RutlandÕ s image. You can actually save money by adding a small solar array or with NRG Residential Solar, and itÕ s good for the greater community, too.

7. Buy a house. Rutland and the surrounding towns have incredibly inexpensive real estate, often making buying cheaper than renting, and interest rates remain near record lows. You can get a much nicer house for much less money in Rutland County than in Burlington, Montpelier or other similar communities, and build equity for yourself as you help strengthen our local economy.

8. Get to know your neighbors. Nothing builds a sense of community better than building relationships one on one.

9. Vote. Think it doesn’t matter? Bernie Sanders won his first election, as mayor of Burlington, by 10 votes.

10. Donate blood at the Gift-of-Life Marathon and help put Rutland into the national record book on Dec. 17. Just imagine what that would do for RutlandÕ s community spirit.

Letters to the Editor

Natural gas a good alternative To the Editor: Country Home Products is proud to employ 190 individuals at our facility in Vergennes. Like any business, our ability to compete and grow is determined in part by our expenses, and the annual expense of fuel is a significant cost of doing business.

The proposed Addison Natural Gas Project has the potential to lower these costs substantially by offering an alternative that is estimated to be 45 percent less expensive. By substantially lowering our fuel cost, the Addison Natural Gas project will allow us to redirect the savings toward growing our business.

Natural gas provides the additional benefit of being a cleaner alternative to fuel oil. Greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas are significantly lower than those of fuel oil. And we believe the Addison Natural Gas Project will provide a much-needed economic boost to the economy of this region. We are pleased to support an initiative that will lower fuel costs while also providing environmental benefits.

Chris F. Knapp CFO Country Home Products

Racial code words To the Editor: Your viewpoint (Dan Alexander) of July 27 surprises and saddens me. As a journalist, how can you so blithely stereotype an entire race of people? You state Ò the problem is the never ending violence that young black males inflict against each other daily,” that Ò black America is murdering itself over drug turf, bruised egos etc.Ó I am truly astounded that the publisher of a newspaper would make such statements. Since when did violence become only an African-American trait? When did such reasons for violence become assigned only to blacks? And the only time white Americans are affected is when they are “caught in the crossfire.”

Whites are only innocent victims, never perpetrators?

You state that you think the president was Ò wrong to inject himself, his perspective.” It would seem that his perspective and life experiences are what white Americans like you, sir, would do well to listen to and try to understand.

Trayvon Martin was walking home. George Zimmerman followed him (because he was black and fit your stereotype), car-

ried a gun, got out of his car and confronted him. If Zimmerman had stayed in his car as instructed by police, wasnÕ t carrying a gun or Trayvon Martin had been white we, like many others, believe that this tragedy would never have happened.

Perhaps living in Ñ and writing for Ñ or a rather narrow racial milieu allows you to perceive all young black men as worthy of your stereotype. Ò Less fortunate urban population?Ó What, no whites live in cities and are poor?

Using these tired old racial code words is lazy journalism and not worthy of the publisher of the Times of Ti. Jeff and Charlene Kleiman Elizabethtown, NY

Zimmerman verdict To the Editor: After reading Rhea BeldenÕ s take on the trial of George Zimmerman I have to wonder where she was when the incident took place. Her letter speaks of facts that were not brought out about George Zimmerman and she states, “If the jury had not had their hands tied with only the facts they were allowed to use, Zimmerman would have been given a different verdict.Ó As one who followed the trial I felt facts pertaining to Trayvon Martin were withheld and that the prosecution did their very best to make Mr. Zimmerman out to be something that everyone who knew him disagreed with.

Without being there I must ask Ms. Belden how did she come up with saying Trayvon Martin was terrified or that he was fighting for his life. Trayvon MartinÕ s past was not that of a person who was terrified easily. According to his school records he was a bully, drug user and thief found with burglars tools and womanÕ s jewelry to name a few. He was sent to his father because his mother couldnÕ t handle him and he was thrown out of school.

On the night he was killed walking home with Skittles he was more than two blocks away from the store and his home begging the question, what was he doing walking through ZimmermanÕ s complex.

Unlike Ms. Belden I have a real problem drawing conclusions about Mr. Zimmerman’s actions! I have sat through many courts decisions and have seen what I thought were unjust one way or the other. This being said when a jury sits those on it are supposed to make decisions based on law not conjecture! The only witness to the whole confrontation in this case was George Zimmerman. He told the police Trayvon Martin was on top of him and was trying to get at the gun he was carrying in a legal manner. Given Trayvon MartinÕ s history of agitating and beating up people I can’t call Mr. Zimmerman a liar. This with the fact that Mr. Zimmerman had his head banged on concrete at least twice, coupled with a broken nose, is evidence he was on the bottom as he stated and the prosecution tried very hard to say the opposite until the last days of the trial.

As a veteran I can attest to the fact that trauma to the head can surely cause one to believe they are in danger of loss of life. The police should have taken Mr. Zimmerman to a hospital before taking him to the police station as this type of injury has caused death in many instances on and off the battlefield!

For Ms. Belden to bring up first degree murder is a reach for someone who was not a first hand witness to what actually happened that night. It is unfortunate there are places where Neighborhood Watch is needed, but perhaps Ms. Belden has never lived where robbery and murder are a real threat. I have my own thoughts about what actually happened but they are not relevant because I wasn’t also wasn’t a witness.

Second-guessing what happened has put many innocents in jail and many guilty parties have been set free. Our jury system was put to use and a verdict was rendered as verdicts have been rendered in millions of cases. I see Ms. Belden acting as what she called George Zimmerman, a vigilantly! We have had too many people executed who were later proven innocent because of overzealous prosecutors and false accusations. The trial has ended and Mr. Zimmerman was found innocent. Now is the time for our prayers to go to everyone involved and for the conjecture to stop.

Gary P. Guido Ticonderoga, NY

From the Editor from page 4

During the 1960s and ‘70s, British mathematician J. E. Littlewood (1885–1977) reported that “individuals should statistically expect one-in-a-million events (miracles) to happen to them at the rate of about one per month.Ó Littlewood concluded that miraculous events in our lives areÑ in his wordsÑ Ò commonplaceÓ .

So, I wonder, just how miraculous are miracles and amazing coincidences such as bumping into a long-lost friend you were just thinking about, or unknowingly sticking a two-year-old Cape Coral public library bookmark into a used book discarded from the same library?

I have always viewed such occurrences as evidence of somethingÑ maybeÑ bigger, deeper, and more mysterious than mere happenstance.

Littlewood reported that miracles are related to the Law of Truly Large Numbers. Hence. He wrote, Ò with a sample size large enough, any outrageous thing is likely to happen.Ó But what about that Ò defying the laws of natureÓ thing?

Even with science taking the wind out of super natureÕ s sails on a daily basis, it’s all still pretty amazing to me. If you understand numbers, maybe truly large numbers are an explanation you accept; but I still scratch my head and wonder.

So, now, what exactly are the odds?

Sailing barge “Ceres” launched July 27on Lake Champlain From News & Staff Reports

newmarketpress@denpubs.com FERRISBURGH — On July 27, the public were welcomed to celebrate the launch of Ceres, a 39-foot sailing barge built in Ferrisburgh as part of the Vermont Sail Freight Project.

The product of five months of intense building and rigging by a primarily-volunteer crew, Ceres launched in advance of her September voyage down the Hudson River carrying up to 15 tons of Vermont produce to New York City.

Last SaturdayÕ s celebration included music, swimming, tours of the boat, and light fare including samples of the bargeÕ s future cargo.

The Willowell Foundation, VSFPÕ s organizational sponsor, hosted the July 27 event in partnership with Erik Andrus, the projectÕ s visionary and director. Ceres has been taking shape board by board at AndrusÕ s Boundbrook Farm since March of this year.

The Vermont Sail Freight Project is a community effort to revitalize an historic regional foodway, the Hudson River.

Andrus hopes that the project, which has raised over $30,000 through a Kickstarter campaign, grants, and donations this year, will eventually become a self-sustaining, farmer-owned co-op. Ò The way we trade and transport now is just way too costly, on so many levels,Ó Andrus said in advance of the launching.

“Imagine a new global trade network comprised of inland and inshore trading boats like the Vermont Sail Freight ProjectÕ s sailing barge, meeting and trading in a busy port with tall ships from across the sea.Ó This vision of carbon-neutral regional fair trade takes a big step forward this month with the launch of Ceres at the Ferrisburgh Town Beach.

Edmundite priest finds calling in outreach to community

By Gail Callahan

newmarketpress@denpubs.com HINESBURG — Steering two parishes in southern Chittenden County is right up the Rev. David CrayÕ s vocation. The priest, who is in his late 60s, and who is a member of the religious order of the Society of Saint Edmund, has been responsible for the last decade for the spiritual care for parishioners at two churchesÑ Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Charlotte and St. Jude’s in Hinesburg.

The two southern Chittenden County houses of worship are joined together because a shortage of priests in the Diocese of Burlington.

Cray, a native of the Boston area, first became acquainted with the order of priests of which he is now a member, as a student at St. MichaelÕ s College in Colchester. The Edmundites founded the liberal arts college located in Colchester in 1904. “It was 1963 by then, I had met a lot of Edmundites. I decided to join the Edmundites after the end of my sophomore year at St. Michael’s. I did the novitiate, and my first assignment was at our parish in England.Ó Founded as a small missionary band in 19th century France, the Edmundites answer the call to serve where they are needed.

The order founded one of the first Catholic colleges in Vermont, worked for Civil Rights in Selma, Ala., reached out to

the poor of New Orleans and served parishes in the barrios of Caracas, Venezuela. Their vocation is marked by a small band of priests and brothers with a missionary zeal, according to the SocietyÕ s web site.

During his ministry, Cray also served as Director of Novices for the Society of Saint Edmund and also held the position of Secretary General for the religious congregation. He also was the spiritual father for a parish in Quebec during the late 1970s and early 1980s and also worked as chaplain for a high school in Canada.

During his tenure there, the Quebec province was torn apart, coming after a Parti Québécois victory in an election. In turn, the Party pushed for a referendum on the possibility of succession and discussion on the matter heated up. If succession took place, a new economic relationship with Canada would likely have been forged. The push for succession was eventually put to bed in 1980.

“I do enjoy parish work,” Cray said. “Everyday is a bit different.Ó Looking back on his half century of priestly service, Cray feels the lessons he learned as a student and then a priest enabled him to better understand the everyday struggles of his flock.

“I really have done a bit of everything,” he said.

Plan by Vermont Transportation would reset Act 250 imbalance Constructed in the early 1960s, commercial growth in the area has left the busy interchange obsolete and it is often congested as a result of its inability to accommodate the amount of traffic it sees on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the deficiencies, such as the current width of the overpass, are not amenable to a cheap fix.

Estimated at more than $5.1 million, updating Exit 16 would involve demolishing the current interchange and replacing it with a Ò diverging double diamondÓ design. Hall says that in the past, Ò developers have understandably chaffed at the notion of paying for infrastructure overtaxed by noncontributing, preexisting development.Ó The solution proposed, which involves spreading the cost of the project across private developers, using a balanced, impactbased method of assessing costs for the necessary improvements holds promise as a rational fix to a long-lasting problem. If finally approved in the permitting process, the mechanism could signal a significant shift in policy for future developments.

Rajinish Gupta, a traffic research engineer at VTrans who worked on the mechanism, said that Ò the shift has not happened yet. There’s no standard formula defined right now and it goes by a case-to-case basis. It’s a work in progress.”

The former precedent of having the last one in pay for deficient infrastructure overtaxed by noncontributing, pre-existing development often dissuaded companies from embarking on new projects.

If the fair share model is implemented, developers will be more likely to move forward with their plans, expanding predeveloped areas and boosting local economies.

Shems added, Ò We want to look at things from a smart growth and equitable position. Part of smart growth is better develop-

BURLINGTON — For years, the Vermont Agency of Transportation has been working to amend a disparity stemming from Act 250, VermontÕ s Land Use and Development Act. Since its implementation in 1970, Act 250 has often left the last developer on the block to float the entire cost of any necessary upgrades to the area in which they are working.

To combat this imbalance, VTrans has started to explore a Ò fair shareÓ mechanism for imposing mitigation contributions relative to the actual impacts of a development. Mark Hall, an attorney at Burlington-based law firm Paul Frank and Collins with a special concentration in land use, environmental, real estate and construction law, says that if a definitive change reflecting this fair share mechanism is made to Act 250 Ò it will be a public-private win-win as the developer will pay for its own impacts, while knowing its funds will be utilized locally.Ó When a large commercial client announced that they planned to make a relatively minor adjustment to their existing location in Colchester, local and state governments saw this as a prime time to explore the fair share payment model on a large scale.

Ron Shems, VermontÕ s Natural Resources Board chairman, said, Ò Discussion and involvement with Act 250 has been going on since before Hurricane Irene in 2011. We do have a stakeholding process going and hope to propose legislation for this coming session.Ó While nothing has been finalized legislatively, the situation in Colchester holds the potential to be one of the most substantial enactments of the fair share mechanism to date and could lead to major modifications to Act 250.

The area in question, exit 16 on I-89 in Colchester, has been a source of disdain for years.

Report: Vermont ranks no. 9 in U.S. in solar power But not everything solar is rosy From News & Staff Reports

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND Ñ The Environment America Research & Policy Center, in partnership locally with the Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG), released “Lighting the Way: What We Can Learn from AmericaÕ s Top 12 Solar StatesÓ , a new report highlighting a solar energy boom across the country.

The report ranks Vermont ninth in the nation for per capita solar installations. This makes Vermont one of a dozen states that have led the nation in solar energy with supportive policies and a commitment to continued expansion.

Solar is on the rise across the country, according to the U.S. Solar Market Insight 2012 Year-in-Review report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and GTM Research; America has more than three times as much solar capacity as it did in 2010, and more than 10 times as much as it did in 2007.

SEIA also found that the price to install a solar system fell by 26 percent in 2012.

The report emphasizes that it is not availability of sunlight that makes states solar leaders, but the degree to which state and local governments have created effective public policy for the development of the solar industry.

Other states profiled in the report include Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maryland, Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina and Massachusetts.

While these 12 states account for only 28 percent of the U.S. population, they make up 85 percent of the nation’s installed solar energy.

Depot Theatre Gala upcoming in Westport, NY Event scheduled for Aug. 10 at DaCy Meadow Farms

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com WESTPORT, NY Ñ WestportÕ s Depot Theatre is a behive of activity, preparing for their Annual Gala, which will mark their 35 year anniversary.

The Gala, held for the first time at DaCy Meadow Farms, will feature a cocktail hour, whiskey tasting, farmto-table dinner prepared by Chef Kevin McCarthy as well as a silent auction, a live auction, music and dancing.

“I think a lot of people have a great time having a mid-summer celebration that helps raise funds for something that has become really important for our region,Ó said Shami McCormick, artistic director of the theater.

McCormick, who has been at the Depot for 34 of the companyÕ s 35 years, is excited for this yearÕ s event, especially since it is being held at DaCy Meadow Farms, located at 7103 Route 9N between the theater and I-87.

The Gala, McCormick explained, is a coming out party of sorts for DaCy Meadow as well. The farm,

which features farm-to-table Ò localvoreÓ dining and lodging, has hosted smaller events such as weddings, but never a celebration on this scale.

“It’s a very new experience, and they are working very hard, theyÕ re adding a lot of aspects to their facility in preparation for the gala, as a groundworks for doing other such events there,Ó McCormick said.

The Gala, their biggest fund-raising event of the year, will benefit the Depot TheatreÕ s professional theater programs, as well as their outreach and youth activities.

“It’s kind of a really kicky, fun experience,” McCormick said. “I think one of the things that a theater can do is to do an event (like this) really well.

ThereÕ s always surprises to it and itÕ s always whimsical.Ó Amazing Grace Vinyard and Winery in Chazy will be providing table wine for the Gala, and GioiosaÕ s Wine and Spirits from Plattsburgh is providing the champagne. Other major sponsors are Lake Placid Pub and Brewery in Lake Placid and WhistlePig Rye Whiskey in Shelburne, Vt. Ò WeÕ re almost ready. Fortunately we have another two weeks to prepare,Ó said Managing Director Angel Wuellner.

In the midst of the preparations for the Gala, the show Boeing-Boeing is nearing its closing Aug. 4. The theater company is preparing to unveil their newest show, the musical Funked Up

Fairy Tales starting Aug. 9. Also in the works is Lombardi, a play about legendary football coach Vince Lombardi.

The theaterÕ s lobby is also currently

playing host to to a Ò sap bucket art show,Ó where local artists were given a sap bucket to use as their canvas.

The colorful buckets ring the walls above the historic train depot benches.

There is also a jurried art show slated to run from Aug. 21 to Sept. 18.

Those interested in attending the Gala can contact the Depot Theatre box office at 518-962-4449.

footprint. The film serves as an educational tool to better inform the public of the program.

“The film is the first of its kind to tell the Ô realÕ story behind the program,Ó said David Dunn of Green Mountain Power.

Not only the film, but the program itself would be impossible without the help of the community. Colleges, businesses, and individuals have supported the program by pledging to pay an extra four cents per kilowatt hour on a portion of their electricity bill, according to Gillette. Ò As good Vermonters, we just felt it was a good thing to do,Ó said Steve Salls of VT Clothing Company in St. Albans.

Last August, Gillette began a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds needed to produce the film. Soon after, Cabot Cheese of Vt. and DVO Digesters of Wisc. signed on as sponsors.

Despite being a few days shy of its world premiere, the film has already attracted attention. It was screened at the Innovation Center of U.S. DairyÕ s nationwide Sustainability Summit and Los Angeles based distribution company Filmbreak has ensured that the film will be available on sharing sites such as ITunes, Amazon, and Netflix by Aug. 13.

“This premier is just the first step” explains Gillette. She plans to travel across the country to festivals and educational establishments to share the film as well.

The community is invited to join Gillette and Green Mountain Power at the premier Aug. 10. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free, but donations will be accepted at the door.

VermontÕ s known for many things: Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, great ski resorts, maple syrup. Now, residents can add one more to that list: Ò cow power.Ó

With the museum gaining more attention and visitors, it finally has its first official curator—John Schaub of Sunderland. Schaub was elected by the Rutland Railway Association as curator of the railroad museum in July.

SchuabÕ s experiences have come from a life-long interest with railroads, photography, American history and model railroading. His primary responsibility will be to organize, catalog, and enhance the displays of the Rutland Railroad MuseumÕ s extensive collection of local and regional railroad artifacts, documents, and photographs which are now housed at the historic Center Rutland Depot.

SchuabÕ s background in rail history includes printing the images for Bob NimkeÕ s seven volume set, Ò The Rutland RailroadÓ , and designing, creating and building a traveling exhibit for the Long Island Railroad.

He is currently working with the members of the Rutland Railway Association upgrading the extensive operating model train lay-out at the Center Rutland Depot.

The museum, under SchuabÕ s watchful eye, will be a key organizer of the 2013 Rutland Train Show Sept. 28 with train-related displays and artificats, as well as demonstrations of the techniques used for model-train scenery construction.

For an unrelated issue, Clouart was arrested for operating a vehicle with a criminally suspended license. During that incident, Vermont State Police Sgt. French assisted Officer Papineau and spoke with Clouart who denied any involvement with the burglary and denied selling the stolen bicycles.

Clouart was subsequently charged for being in possession of stolen property in April 2013 when he sold the stolen bicycles to Pete and AnnÕ s Trading Post.

“The North Country Frenchman” wins Build-Off First ever Back Yard Build-Off goes to Dannemora car builder

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com DANNEMORA, NY Ñ Ó Let me introduce you to my Rocket 88. Yes it’s great, just won’t wait. Everybody likes my Rocket 88.”

That song, by Bill Haley and His Comets, may very well have been playing in Clem CoutureÕ s head when he took on the challenge to build a car from scratch, in just seven months, and compete against two other Ò OlÕ SkoolÓ car builders at this yearÕ s Syracuse Nationals car show. He took on that challenge, and won a trophy every bit as unusual as his one-of-a-kind classic hot rod.

“I was kind of dumbfounded. I was the outsider. The other two cars were nice...good quality work,Ó said Couture from his backyard shop behind his house in Dannemora.

The annual Syracuse Nationals is one of the largest car shows on the East Coast. Last year organizers were brain-storming on a way to spur interest in the NationalsÕ Ò OlÕ Skool Roundup,Ó section of the event.

The rules were simple: It couldn’t be a project already in the works, and it had to run on July 15 at the Nationals. Dubbed Ò The North Country Frenchman,Ó Couture started his project with two frame rails from a Ford Model A truck, salvaged from a project truck he had in his backyard. All of the parts, in fact, came from vehicles or other scrap metal he already had on hand.

“The cowl is a ‘28/’29 Model A, the doors are from a ‘30/’31 Model A, the body panels are handmade. The rear section is from

a Model T touring car, the rear axel is from a 1947 Ford pickup truck, the front end comes from a 1939 Ford car,Ó Couture said, running down the list of ingredients for his Ò Franken-car.Ó For a gas tank, Couture welded two coca-cola fountain syrup canisters together. Some re-purposed road signs for floor boards, a pair of military surplus seat cushions and seat backs from a Ô 36 Chevrolet sedan completed the body work.

Topped with a 1949 Oldsmobile “Rocket 88” engine, a super-charger, and a side-draft carburetor, and CoutureÕ s creation was just about ready to roll off the production line.

“I did a couple things to put it over the top,” Couture said. Ò Like the Hudson Terraplane grill.Ó Couture had originally had a different grill on the car, but saw that the Hudson grill he had hanging on the wall was a much better look.

“It had to run enough to get it into where they were going to be on display, which it did. I’ve driv“The North Country Frenchman” with the home-made car that won him the first ever en this around the neighborhood.

SUMMARY: The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has prepared a draft permit renewal for a hazardous waste storage facility that is owned and operated by Green Mountain Power (GMP Facility), located at 296 Greens Hill Lane in Rutland, Vermont. On October 1, 2012, Green Mountain Power and Central Vermont Public Service (CVPS) merged to become Green Mountain Power. The GMP facility located at Green Hills Lane in Rutland was previously owned and operated by CVPS and was first issued a hazardous waste facility permit on February 5, 1988.

The DEC has reviewed the permit renewal application submitted by GMP and determined that no adverse impact on human health and the environment will result from hazardous waste storage operations conducted at the facility if the requirements of the Vermont Hazardous Waste Management Regulations and the draft permit are followed.

PUBLIC COMMENTS: Any interested person may submit written or oral comments on the draft permit. Copies of the draft permit, a fact sheet detailing the significant issues considered in preparing the draft, the Federal Regulations (40 CFR Part 264), and the Vermont Hazardous Waste Management Regulations which were used in preparing the draft, are available for public inspection at the Rutland City Clerk’s Office located at 1 Strongs Avenue in Rutland, and at the DEC, Waste Management & Prevention Division located at I National Life Drive, Davis 1, Montpelier, Vermont during regular business hours. Please call (802) 828-1138 to schedule an appointment. Copies of the draft permit renewal and fact sheets are available upon request or can be found at: http://www.anr.state.vt.us/dec/wastediv/rcra/TSDFpermit.htm

ez

Written public comments on the draft permit can be submitted to the DEC from Thursday, August 1, 2013, through Saturday, September 14, 2013.
